1. Early Magazine Covers-
The early magazine covers usually only had a title and a table of contents. They wanted to model the covers of the magazine after the covers of books. There were no descriptions about what was going to be in the magazine. Sometimes they had symbolic covers to show what kind of magazine it is without giving too much information about what the contents were inside.
2. Poster Covers-
Poster covers were designed to look like they were going to be framed & hung up. In the begininning many Poster Covers had no relation to what was going to be told in the magazine. Many magazines had beautiful photographs & illustrations on the cover. Some big magazines today still use poster covers, although it is rare.
3. Pictures Married to Type-
Pictures married to text have a photo with it's background written across while the main subject of the photo pops out. Cover lines are colorful and bold that way they can draw the audiences attention and compete with other magazines. These types of poster are still being used today and are usually extremely competitive.
4. In the Forest of Words-
In the forest of words magazine cover lines are usually as important as cover art. Cover lines are very vivid and detailed and usually appear in front of the cover model and cover up most of the photograph. Photos are designed a certain way to allow for the many big cover lines.
